Hi Everyone! This is Jackie Trent – or Yvonne Burgess of Chesterton, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffordshire if you like!

I’m finally writing a book of my life, and it all started with winning the ‘Caroll Levis and His Discoveries’Show at the Theatre Royal, Hanley, in 1951, then working the CIU Clubs; starting with Longport Social Club. I’m still proud that the Ent. Secs around Stoke kept me in full employment at weekends between 1951/5, before I hit the road to London and the World. I’m still chuffed that Longport’s Ent. Sec announced me as ‘The Vera Lynn of the Potteries’. But only on my repeat booking – he was dubious first time round!

- Anyone out there remember me working in their Club? - Maybe have photo’s, or reminiscences of me to share in the book?

Please, if you do, feel free to write to me by e-mail on cg15144@aol.comOr leave a message on my Guestbook @ www.jackietrent.comFor anyone not on e-mail, Ruth Cherrington, your Historian, would enjoy hearing from anyone with info about me for her own research.
